They also normally have a sound system and such which takes away from the race look.

Yea I am not a fan of the SSR wheels. I mean you could not go JDM and go PIMP instead with a set of HRE's or a set of IForged wheels instead.

but i think it's a good idea to avoid volks if you want to be unique, they are quite common. Some BBS mesh styled rims might look nice? I remember seeing a mugen TSX (the front bumper replacement kit) with some mesh style rims and it looked impressive.
Benz, if you take some photos of your car from a photoshop friendly 3/4 angle or perhaps even more side on i'd be able to up some quick photoshops of different style wheels on your car. - i'm gonna be in LA, Las vegas then vancouver for the next 3 weeks starting tommorrow tho... so maybe sometime after that

i'm in california atm been seeing disney land and been to hollywood/LA and universal studios for a bit over the last week. I've seen a couple of TSX's around- they really stand out on american roads IMO (as do a majority of the acuras) they just seem to have finer lines or something... can't quite put my finger on it. but so many cars are so big and bulky looking... the acuras/hondas seem to be more "lithe" if thats even a word...
